"Nintendo is still not letting Wii third-party publishers include online capabilities in their games and it doesn't look like they will during 2007."

On one hand, it sounds too out there to be true. But on the other, Nintendo is the type of company that would make such decision...

But the source is Spong, and the wording throughout the article doesn't make sense in certain places.
The interviewee was refering to VC and not Wii specific games, as 3rd party games are already being developed with online. Elebits has already been released, EA has talked about how they got the online kits too late to implement online into Tiger Wods '07, and Blazing angels is sopposedly going to be the 1st 3rd party game with competitive online capability. It even has the WiFi logo on the boxart.

I believe Reggie when he said that 3rd parties had the online kits. During the interview he was very confident when he said it, not nearly as confident when he talked about MP online, though.

That disc didn't get the priviledge of staying in my GameCube for more than a day.

Granted I didn't care for Capcom's button placement, but I did manage to get used to it. In fact I completed all the Mega Man games with that control scheme.

Sega Sammy has in the works a Fist of the North Star-themed pachinko collection for Wii, and it features integration with two key features that reports had suggested were unavailable to third parties: the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection online service and Mii avatars.
The title features a handful of Wii-specific features, such as shaking the Remote to operate the pachislot games, and tilting it to control the "steering wheel" which in turn controls the speed of the balls in the pachinko games. The Wi-Fi Connection will lend support to the title for an online ranking system, where players will be represented by the Miis they select.
The title will be released on May 24 in Japan. It's doubtful it will appear in any other territory.

I want real online support. There's an IGN article I dont' feel like getting the link for where Activision(I think) and Demonware, state that they are planning on making online games for the Wii, as well all the other systems. Let's hope this happens this year, and bodes well for the future.

IGN: Will this acquisition enable the implementation of online functionality in future Wii games published by Activision?
Steve Pearce: We tend to provide online functionality for all console platforms.
Dylan Collins: If you look at our track record, we've always been pretty much the first network guys on any platform coming out.
IGN: So you do have plans to develop online-enabled Wii games in the future?
Steve Pearce: Yup.
Dylan Collins: Yeah, I would say we do.

And how does SNK repay Nintendo for their kindness, by stabbing them in the back to cover their own ass because they're too damn lazy to impliment Classic Controls or Online in their games. You think since Nintendo is the only company that will allow 2d games on their system, SNK would be a little more grateful.
And dont say Microsoft because 2d games are only allowed on X-Box Live this gen because Microsoft like Sony views 2d as an inferior format and they only want realistic 3d games with HD graphics to show off their systems power.
